REPUBLIC OF KENYA THE NATIONAL TREASURY AND PLANNING PRESS STATEMENT RESOURCE MOBILIZATION DUE TO THE LANDSLIDES AND FLOODS IN THE COUNTRY As you are all aware, and as announced by His Excellency the President on November 23rd 2019, Kenya has recently been experiencing floods and devastating landslides that have been triggered by the torrential rains across most parts of the country. For instance, the landslide that occurred at 2:30am, November 23, 2019 in West Pokot has thus far resulted in 43 fatalities and led to substantial destruction of property including key infrastructure such as roads and bridges. Rescue and recovery efforts led by the Rift Valley Regional Security Committee working in collaboration with other Government and Humanitarian agencies are ongoing. In addition to West Pokot, the Kenya Meteorological Agency has indicated that torrential rains are expected in other parts of the country including the following counties: Machakos, Kitui, Mwingi, Nairobi, Nyeri, Kiambu, Nyandarua, Murang’a, Embu, Meru, Kirinyaga, Tharaka Nithi, Kitui, Taita Taveta, Busia, Kisii, Nyamira, Kericho, Bomet, Nakuru, Baringo, Narok, Migori, Nandi, Southern Turkana, Samburu, Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet, Vihiga, Bungoma, Homa Bay, Busia, Kisumu, Siaya, Kakamega, Nakuru, Isiolo, Garissa, Marsabit, Mandera and Wajir. This calls for urgent interventions by the Government to mitigate the impact of these events on our people. Key among these are temporary and extraordinary mobilization of resources to address the floods and landslides. The Government, through The National Treasury and Planning, has opened a three month window to mobilize domestic and external resources to address this unforeseen event. Based on this urgent situation I, Ukur Yatani Kanacho, by the Authority vested in me by Provisions 11 (3) and 12(1)(d) of the Public Financial Management Act of Kenya, do hereby make a call to mobilize internal and external resources to face this disaster. This declaration shall be valid for a period of three months only, unless this disaster situation persists and/or worsens, and this declaration is extended by The National Treasury and Planning based on an assessment and review of prevailing conditions. Hon. (Amb) Ukur Yattani Kanacho Acting Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and Planning 29th November, 2019.

UNITED NATIONS HUMANITARIAN UPDATE vol. 40 6 November – 20 November 2008 Office of the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in Kenya HIGHLIGHTS • Donors pressure government on the implementation of Waki and Kriegler reports • Kenya Red Cross appeals for US$ 7. 5 million for 300,000 people requiring humanitarian aid due to recent flash floods, landslides and continued conflict • Kenyan military in rescue operation along Kenya-Somalia border The information contained in this report has been compiled by OCHA from information received from the field, from national and international humanitarian partners and from other official sources. It does not represent a position from the United Nations. This report is posted on: http://ochaonline.un.org/kenya I. General Overview Development partners are insisting on the full implementation of the Waki and Kriegler reports to facilitate further development and put an end to impunity. Twenty-five diplomatic missions in Nairobi, including the US, Canada and the European Union countries have piled pressure for the implementation of the report whose key recommendations was the setting up of a special tribunal to try the financiers, perpetrators and instigators of the violence that rocked the country at the beginning of this year. The European Union has threatened aid sanctions should the Waki Report not be implemented. An opinion poll by Strategic Research Limited found that 55.8 per cent of respondents supported the full implementation of the report on post-lection violence. On 19 November, Parliament moved to chart the path of implementing the Waki Report by forming two committees to provide leadership on the controversial findings.
CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: KENYA Last Update: 29 April 2010

WO RLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION Global Task Force on Cholera Control CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: KENYA Last update: 29 April 2010 General Country Information: The Republic of Kenya is located in eastern Africa, and borders Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda and Sudan with an east coast along the Indian Ocean. Kenya is divided into eight provinces: Central, Coast, Eastern, North Eastern, Nyanza, Rift Valley and Western and Nairobi. The provinces are further subdivided into 69 districts. Nairobi, the capital, is the largest city of Kenya. In 1885, Kenya was made a German protectorate over the Sultan of Zanzibar and coastal areas were progressively taken over by British establishments especially in the costal areas. Hostilities between German military forces and British troops (supported by Indian Army troops) were to end in 1918 as the Armistice of the first World War was signed. Kenya gained its independence from Great Britain in December 1963 when a government was formed by Jomo Kenyatta head of the KANU party (Kenya National African Union). Kenya's economy is highly dependant on tourism and Nairobi is the primary communication and financial hub of East Africa. It enjoys the region's best transportation linkages, communications infrastructure, and trained personnel. Many foreign firms maintain regional branches or representative offices in the city. Since December 2007, following the national elections, Kenya has been affected by political turmoil and violent rampages in several parts of the country leading to economic and humanitarian crisis. Kenya's Human Development Index is 147 over 182. The major cause of mortality and morbidity is malaria. Malnutrition rates are high (around 50'000 malnourished children and women in 27 affected districts in 2006).

Breeding Seasonality and Reproductive Success of White-Fronted Bee-Eaters in Kenya

BREEDING SEASONALITY AND REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS OF WHITE-FRONTED BEE-EATERS IN KENYA PETER H. WREGE1'2 AND STEPHEN T. EMLEN 1'2 •Sectionof Neurobiologyand Behavior, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York15853 USA, and 2NationalMuseums of Kenya,Nairobi, Kenya ABSTR•CT.--White-frontedBee-eaters (Merops bullockoides) at Nakuru, Kenya, reproduce in an environmentwhere foodsupply for provisioningnestlings is unpredictableand generally scarce.With data from 8 yr of study on three populationsof bee-eaters,we examinedhow these environmental conditionshave influenced the timing of breeding and patterns of nesting success. Breedingcoincided with the generalpattern of rainfall in the Rift Valley. Kenyaexperiences two rainy seasonsper year, and individual bee-eatersbred with eitherthe long or the short rains,but not both. Membersof a givenpopulation bred coloniallyand quitesynchronously, but membersof adjacentpopulations were often out of phasewith one another.As a result, the distributionof long- and short-rainsbreeding populations formed a spatialmosaic. Reproductivesuccess was highly variablebut typically low. Mean (+SD) fledging success was 0.57 + 0.83 young, and only one nest in four produced an independent offspring (6 monthsof age). Most prefledgingmortality (88%)was due to egg lossesand the starvation of young. Very little (7%) was attributableto predation.Social factors, primarily intraspecific nest parasitism,were responsiblefor nearly half of all egg losses,and representan important costof group living. Starvation,the singlemost important source of prefledgingmortality, claimedthe lives of 48%of all hatchlings.Starvation was greatestat times of low food availability,in nestswith large broods,and in neststended by pairs without helpers. Hatching was asynchronous.This enhancedthe ability of older nestlingsto monopolize limited food supplies,and resulted in the selectivedeath of the smallestnestling first.
